ERV does not include tidal volume which is the typical amount of air coming in and out of your lungs with each breath. (approx 500ml) ERV is the amount of air evacuated out of your lungs after tidal expiration. (approx 1200ml) Vital Capacity is the total amount of exchangeable air or the sum of TV, ERV, and IRV. IRV is inspiratory reserve volume or the amount of air you can inspire forcibly beyond the tidal volume (approx 2100- 3200ml).
Regular exercise can increase the strength and efficiency of respiratory muscles, including those involved in exhalation. This can lead to improved lung function, increased expiratory muscle strength, and potentially an increase in expiratory reserve volume over time.
It's the inspiratory reserve volume plus the tidal volume plus the expiratory reserve volume

The Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) is calculated by subtracting the tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume from the total lung capacity. In this case, the total lung capacity is the sum of the active capacity and the expiratory reserve volume, which equals 5660ml. Therefore, the IRV would be 5660ml - 500ml - 1300ml = 3860ml.
What happens to residual volume, tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume just after exercise while breathing deeply and rapidly? Do they increase, decrease or stay the same?
The average inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) for adults is around 3,000-3,500 mL. This volume represents the maximum amount of air a person can inhale beyond their normal tidal volume during a deep breath. It is an important component of lung capacity and respiratory function.
The abbreviation FRV stands for functional reserve volume. Functional reserve volume is used to describe the volume of air in ones lungs at the end of the expiratory position.
Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation. But it differs from one person to another. For a normal sized male that would be 4600 ml.
Expiratory capacity refers to the maximum amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after taking a deep breath. It is typically measured during pulmonary function tests and includes both the expiratory reserve volume (the additional air that can be exhaled after a normal tidal expiration) and the tidal volume (the amount of air normally exhaled during a relaxed breath). This measurement helps assess lung function and can be important in diagnosing respiratory conditions.
The ERV is the expiratory reserve volume, which is the amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation.
